09 COCKROACHES EVERYWHERE

Roaches on the kitchen floor
Roaches in the bin
I open a bag to grab a bap
There’s a giant roach within
Roaches drawing circles
Closing in upon my chair
Roaches getting sweet
On me and mine
Cockroaches everywhere

Lovesick tomcat on the prowl
He’s screaming like a babe
Wooing rivals joining in
His feline serenade
I wish they all would come and kill
Get done with this affair
But none of them give any
Damn ‘bout my
Cockroaches everywhere

Some alarm clock going off
It’s four o’clock in the morn
‘Tween getting up and shouting loud
And breaking down I’m torn
Damn thing gonna ring for hours
Ain’t nobody there
‘Cept roaches on the table
Nibbling…
Cockroaches everywhere

Switch on the light
Switch on the light
Switch it off again
Flick the switch
Flick the switch
Flick it back again

I’m kicking roaches like a ball
But I don’t score no goals
When you try to crush them
They dash into their holes
Vermin striking from behind
Never playing fair
Like vampires in the darkness
Sucking blood
Roaches everywhere
